Nice "trailer queen" (what the hot rodders call a car that's all show and no go). It's really really good looking. amazing work. Very nice. But just not practical at 8 wide :-) (25 years ago, 6-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)

Why we don't use non-LEGO product? One of the reasons is that it's lousy product. It does not wear as well or hold up to the same rigors that the LEGO product does. I've watched models made of knock off brands fall apart in direct sunlight because (...) (25 years ago, 5-Aug-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)
